[css-d] see #F3F1E9 on WinMac: weren't Web-safe colours dead?
I was playing around with colors for a css-layout and got pretty satisfied with a light-browns/sandy combination [#E6E3D7 - #F3F1E9] on firefox/OSX. [see http://www.bo.ingv.it ] Then I watched it from a windows box (IE and Firefox) and it looks completely shifted (light-greys/bluish). the win-box scren is set to 32-bit colors hence it is not a color- space remapping/redux issue... I tested the same colors with Mac Win Gamma settings in Photoshop and could not reproduce those greys either... What might such a color-shift be about? ... whole sites and communities discussing color palettes and their implications and there's still no-way to garantee an hex-value is rendered consistently in any browser ?!

Hex values are unambiguous and consistent in meaning - but screens are not. What's causing the difference is not the browser but the box itself. Try re-callibrating your monitors acording to their instruction manuals.

There's no guarantee the exact same browser and OS, the exact same model graphics card and the exact same model display will have consistent display. Things such as the configured colour temperature will play into account. Also the screen brightness and environment colouring and lighting will affect the percieved colour. -- David liorean Andersson __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
